The KPZ universality class of stochastic growth models in 1+1 dimensions consists in models with the same physical properties of the KPZ equation. Through the Feynman-Kac representation one sees that the KPZ class includes equilibrium models as directed random polymers as well. The study of special models with a determinantal structure allowed to determine the (conjectural universal) limit processes that describes the fluctuations of interfaces for KPZ models (see e.g. [1,2,3,4]). Along special space-time lines, correlations decay much more slowly than along spatial directions [5]. This property can be used to study decoupling around shocks [6]. In the last few years the number of solvable models has been extended beyond the class with determinantal correlations, leading to a number of results in agreement with the universality conjecture. For these new models, results are so-far available for one-point distributions. This is the case for the semi-discrete directed polymer [7], from which results on the distribution function of the solution of the KPZ equations are obtained [8,7].
Nevertheless, showing universality beyond integrability is still a big challenge and results are not as strong as in random matrix theory. The integrable models are an important starting point, as they could be used for perturbation theory, involving renormalization techniques. Further, if one proves universality using probabilistic argument also for non-integrable models, the identification of the limit processes goes through the solution of the integrable models. One of the major open question (regardless of the model under consideration, i.e., even for models with determinantal structure at fixed time), is the precise description of the limiting process for the time-time correlations.
